@garry I knew these guys. Balsillie once accused me of ‘tech-boosterism’ when I did a talk ; he thought I hyped tech too much LOL. Their HQ was about 12 km from my home. It’s such a sad and unnecessary failure, but predictable. (fun fact: i was once approached by one director to consider a board position; this was about 3 years before the implosion. Good thing i never made the cut!)

Garry Knight (garry@mstdn.social)'s status on Thursday, 16-Mar-2023 07:24:52 JST Garry Knight The New BlackBerry Movie Trailer Pitches a Funnier Take on 'The Social Network'
'Remember the BlackBerry? Remember how BlackBerry was getting its own movie? Well, now we’ve got our first trailer, which depicts the rise and fall of the infamous company that brought us the phone that ensnared CEOs, celebrities, and even presidents in its grip.'
Looks amusing enough for a t3ch13 like me.
